"This is a resolution of the governing body of the Borough of Hopatcong terminating the employment of the business administrator. ... Whereas the Borough Council desires to terminate the borough administrator's contract without delay so an appropriate search can begin for a replacement ... the business administrator's contract is terminated effective immediately, and the business administrator is officially relieved of his duties."

Also detailed in the resolution was the fact that Marotta will have a period of five days to file a statement of reconsideration.

"If no written statement is received from the business administrator," the resolution stated, "this resolution will become final without further action."
